J Hacha De Zola new single “I’m High,” is out today and he offers, “Despite one thinking of ‘getting high’ as a euphoric experience, as any true addict will tell you, it soon stops being fun and becomes a sickening, nauseating need.”

Hacha De Zola and his tribe — despite the upcoming title of Without A Tribe (Caballo Negro/Slow Start Records), his crew is growing, and includes the contributions of original member of Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings, Fernando Vélez and the return of producer John Agnello (Dinosaur Jr., Waxahatchee,  Horsegirl) behind the mixing desk — have taken the sentiments of today and mixed them with the sounds of yesterday.

“We’re doubling down on what began with the last album by borrowing heavily from my love of R&B, Soul, and Doo-wop vocal harmonies and arrangements,” Hacha De Zola explains. “‘Stay Away’ is heavily influenced by 70s funk grooves and R&B-stylized vocal harmonies. Fernando is on percussion and was truly instrumental in helping us lock in the groove and overall vibe.”

The album will be released on June 9, 2023.
